BS5620 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I have heard through various grape vines that it is no ideal to run and escort radiator with a 4age?? The problem being that escorts copper and the 4age head is alloy so you get a problem with electrolisis or something. what is the story with this?? Yarn or serious advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l1ttle_d3vil Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 are all old radiators copper? got a feeling my old corolla radiator was copper, and i ran that with a 4age in for ages and never had any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Search function turns up this thread... viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11648&hilit=copper+radiator Have a read it is basically what you are asking. From memory it gets messy towards the end. I ran a 4age in escort with a copper rad with no immediate problems. Later down the track it may have gotten worse but for the 4 years+ mine ran it was fine. Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
